Stapf, Otto. Hplieracantlia, a New Genus of Acanthaeeae. (Journ. Linn. 8oc. 
Bot. 38 (1907) pp. 6-17.) 
The above genus of Acanthaeeae is described, 19 species being considered, 
all Borneean except one, H. philip pinensis, which is described from material 
collected at Zamboanga, Mindanao. 
Sullivant, W. S. United States Exploring Expedition . . . under the command of 
Charles Wilkes, U. S. N. Botany, Musci. (1859) pp. 32, plates, 26, imperial 
folio. 
This paper really forms the first part of Volume 1 7 of the Wilkes Expedi- 
tion reports, but was published separately by the author. It contains the 
descriptions of two species of Philippine mosses, Hypnum calderense and 
Neckera phyllogonioides, while Hypnum albescens Schw. is credited to the 
Archipelago. The diagnoses of the new species were published previously 
under the title “Notices of some New Mosses in the Collection of the United 
States Exploring Expedition under Captain Wilkes. ( Proc , Am. Acad. 3 
(1857) pp. 181-185.) 
Taubert, P. Zur Kenntnis der Art.en der Gattung Stenomeris Planch. (Engl. 
Bot. Jahrb. 1 5 (1893) Beibl. 38, p. 2.) 
Three species are recognized, 8. dioscoreaefolia Planch., 8. wallisii Tank, 
and 8. Cumingiana Becc., all from the Philippines. 
United States Exploring Expedition during the years 1838-1842 under the 
command of Charles Wilkes, IT. S. N., Botany, Vascular Cryptogams, Vol. 17. 
The first part of this volume was published in 1859 and contains the 
mosses by Sullivant, see above. In 1862 other parts were published. In the 
paper on lichens by Tuekerman no Philippine forms are recorded. For Algae 
and Diatomaceae see Bailey and Harvey above, and for Fungi see Curtiss & 
Berkeley above. (See Merrill, The Philippine Plants Collected by the Wilkes 
Expedition, This Journal. 3 Botany (1908) 73.) 
Valeton, Th. Ixritisch Overzicht der Olacineae. (1886) pp. 1-280, plates 6. 
About three species are mentioned as extending to the Philippines, but 
no new species or names appear so far as the Philippine flora is concerned.
